Middle East Escalation Sending Mortgage RATES Soaring—Here's The Real Reason
from Mortgage Rates Today | Housing Market & Fed News – The Rate Update with Dan Frio · host Dan Frio
Middle East escalation. Oil surging. Inflation fears reigniting. And mortgage rates are jumping.Today we break down:• Why conflict involving Iran is sending oil prices higher • How rising oil feeds directly into inflation expectations • Why the bond market is selling off instead of rallying • What this means for the 10-Year Treasury • And how all of it impacts YOUR mortgage rateNormally, geopolitical conflict pushes investors into bonds — which lowers mortgage rates.That’s not happening.Instead, the market is pricing in higher inflation risk, fewer Fed cuts, and longer-lasting rate pressure.If oil stays elevated, inflation could reaccelerate. If inflation reaccelerates, mortgage rates don’t fall.We’ll walk through exactly what needs to happen next for rates to stabilize — or drop.Transparent. Data-driven.
